This ran in the Register back in July:

And while the Chargers haven’t played a single down in Los Angeles yet — remember, they opted to delay moving to L.A. by one year in order to give a new stadium deal in San Diego one last try – they’re already benefiting from the move.

At this point last year the Chargers sat 44th on the Forbes list with a valuation of $1.525 billion. This year, they’re up eight spots after a 36 percent bump to $2.08 billion. And a continued surge seems likely in future years as the Chargers settle into their new home.

You can’t make this stuff up.

It was obvious that they were not long for L.A. when they couldn’t even fill up a 30,000-seat soccer stadium.

If they got a $500 million bump, it cost them $500 million. Dean was never very good at math.
